-2,4 < X<-1

The inequality \(-2 < X < -1\) describes the range of values that \(X\) can take.

To interpret it:

• The left side, \(-2 < X\), means that \(X\) must be greater than \(-2\).
• The right side, \(X < -1\), means that \(X\) must be less than \(-1\).

Together, these inequalities state that \(X\) can take any value that is greater than \(-2\) but less than \(-1\).

In interval notation, this can be expressed as:

\[ (-2, -1) \]

This means all values of \(X\) within the open interval between \(-2\) and \(-1\) but not including \(-2\) and \(-1\).
